How to say this in a diplomatic way...the issue is, well,
procedural. Everyone who was voiced an opinion agrees that the

FWIW, I mostly disagree with automatic kernel updates, unless,
maybe, if they are security-*only* updates. Current Linux kernel
development unmodel makes me very wary of changing a working kernel.
Of course, a -latest kernel scheme, which one can *choose* to use,
is ok..
the current solution used in contrib doesn't automatically update the
kernel, the old one is still there, ...
That's a good thing !
(and BTW, neither does current model)
What if the new kernel has a regression, and the old one was removed...
you would end up with an unbootable system...
Of course, over time there will be many kernels installed, and some of
them should be removed, but that is less important that getting fixed
kernels installed IMHO...
